Then Bush should just pull all the secret service details on Congress critters and call it a "cost saving" measure.

Game on.

Liberal cowardliness is why they bitch and moan about law enforcement and the military. It's pure jealously because they lack the guts to defend.

They should just admit their cowards, get out of our way, and let us do the job they are incapable of.

He just admitted that he would leave our troops in harms way because there would be no money for munitions much less for evacuation when they can't defend themselves. They would then be sitting ducks.

I'm old enough to remember this image from the Vietnam War. Let's fast-forward to 2007, and see if it fits:


"Dateline: August 2007: With the Democrat-controlled Congress having withdrawn funding for the war in Iraq, Americans are seen here fleeing the country via military helicopter, as civil war breaks out, and al Qaida militants storm the American embassy in Baghdad..."

"Have these Democrat demagogues ever given any thought to the strategic catastrophe that would result if the U.S. simply walked away...."

The ONLY thing that matters to Democrats is POWER....
They could give a damn less, how many dead bodies they leave in thier wake....

The streets of the Blue-spoltches are COVERED in blood as it is, why should they care?

Woolsey and some of her colleagues note that Congress helped force the end of Vietnam War by refusing to pay for it.

Just ask any Vietnamese refugee or one of the "Boat Peple" now residing in the US or elsewhere just how well that worked for them.

The Lady that cuts my hair is one of the Boat People that was lucky enough to have made it out and survive. When she talks to me about it, her eyes still well up with tears.

Through her I have been trying to get some of them to write their experiences down so I can compile them into some format to let America know what it will do again, but much worse this time, should we allow treasonous Democrats to once again snatch a defeat from a victory.

If any read this and would like to send me their story, just email me, I'll be glad to include it, should I ever get enough stories.

You are right. This is exactly what everyone should see as the end result of a Demo victory this fall

the 73-member Out of Iraq Caucus.

Thank goodness only 1/3rd of the House (D)s concur with Rangell and his prescription for Iraq:

It just continues to amaze and astound me the stupidity of these Democrats and how ANYONE in their sane mind, could continue to support (and vote) for them. I'm baffled.

If this is how the Dimwits define "getting some spine" at the behest of their "fearless" leader, we need more of it. Let them wail right up until election day, then arrest the lot for exposing themselves in public. This crap just ain't gonna fly, and these jerks are too stupid to figure it out.

Let's see George W.'s approval numbers, now.

Woolsey and some of her colleagues note that Congress helped force the end of Communist victory in the Vietnam War by refusing to pay for it.

Not to mention hundreds of thousands in re-education camps, millions of boat people refugees, millions more murdered in Cambodia by the victorious Communists, etc. That's a proud record, Democrats. By all means let's do it again in the Mideast.

I guess it depends on what the meaning of " support the troops " is.
Announcing that they will immediately abandon the troops and their mission is appalling- even for the Democrats.
I'm glad that this came out before the election- the RNC better make good use of this gift.

Yes, just as they were willing to damage the country in their quest to lift their political ambitions in the 1970s, vis-a-vis Vietnam, they are willing to do it again; and the nation be dammed. We need to obtain a point in our national development when this is recognized as the treason it is.

Hey who cares we need to teach the GOP a lesson so we can win by losing....

Do you mean you are going to sit on your butt on November 7, and let the Rats gain the majority back? I'd rather hold my nose before I would let that happen

So lets see, the dems complain
that the repub congress isn't giving our troops the "armor they need" on their Humvees, then Rangel just admits that he will ELIMINATE funding for the troops. Which way is it?
